It is quite the momentous occasion when I publicly admit I may have been wrong
and when it comes to toothbrushes I actually may have been a bit judgemental
because I have always thought that any sort of mechanized toothbrush is kind of silly
that they are one of those things dreamed up by savvy marketers
and as such were only to be used by the gullible or the terminally lazy
I mean how lazy do you have to be to not move your arm when you are brushing
but turns out I may have been a bit hasty in my assessment
We recently headed up to the coast for a week or so
and in the normal tried and true packing fashion that we have perfected
all packing was done an hour before we were due to leave
and I am talking all clothes, food, dog and dog necessities, the whole shebang
we don't even get out the bags until we are getting close to leaving time
As you can imagine this leads to some rather odd items being packed and forgotten at times
which is all part the fun of a break I think
and had led to us now owning about 20 packs of playing cards
plus there was one memorable holiday where a certain member of the family
forgot to pack underwear ... seriously ...
which has led to that holiday being referred to as the Commando holiday
This holiday the packing went smoothly until I realized that I had forgotten my toothbrush
no biggie, Sinus popped down to the shops to buy me one
and promptly came back complaining the cost of things in holiday towns
and that it is bad form to rip off tourists etc... a good old rant as he handed it over
$11 for a toothbrush... give me a break... is this thing gold plated or something
now this is the man whose underwear debacle set us back a whole lot more than that
especially as it turns out the Sinus is particularly choosy about his underthings
but it turned out not to be a gold plated toothbrush, but rather the dreaded battery one
which had been the subject of many rants by yours truly
though it does explain the $11... think it was actually a bit of a bargain
because it turns out this thing is amazing
my fangs have never gleamed so much or felt so clean
and so I am publicly apologizing for all prior aspersions cast upon their character
and I am a total convert
And while there is still some puzzlement as to Sinus not noticing
that the toothbrush weighed three time more than a normal toothbrush
or that it has the fact that it was battery powered plastered all over it
it all tuned out for the best
and with that I am off to brush my teeth until they gleam
then settle into some wonderful Sunday studio time ... xx
